Operator Controlled Air Suspension Seat

ABSTRACT

What is new about this invention is the concept of installing these rubber types of air inflatable inner tubes in the interior of the operators&#39; seat frame construction. These tubes would be installed beneath the operators&#39; seating location and also the lumbar position of the frame seating area. The air filling valve locations would be placed to the rear of the seat construction frame or also could be altered due to the type of product construction being used.

BACKGROUND

1) Pleasure or business activities have seating discomforts in areas such as lawn tractors and motorcycles.

2) The materials used for the seating configurations are normally constructed of a metal frame with a soft material insert and a type of cloth covering. This construction is adequate but after a continuous-amount of usage, it has a tendency to create a fatigability to the body.

3) Also, history background would include page 1 of BG LAWNCARE & H.D. CYCLE REPAIR Seat-Prototype Information.

SUMMARY

By providing this air adjustable tube type design in conjunction with an existing seat construction it should have a profound reduction of body fatigue for the operator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The description of this invention is that it is an addition to an already existing type of seat frame. The concept is that rubber type inner tubes would be installed in different location of the interior of seat frames with the capability to install air into these tubes to change posture of seat operator.
